Lewes Brewcafe Haps w/c 14/4/25
Here's what's happening at the Lewes Brewcafe this week...
This week we say hello to Wobble, our super slick collab with the amazing team at Electric Bear Brewery. Wobble mixes a heady oat combo with a simple malt bill for a thick, creamy and smooth texture, plus a full hit of citrus and passionfruit from Citra and Idaho 7.
Lining up alongside Wobble are Fuseboard, our tongue-tickling Guava & Pineapple Sour, Carnival Hazy Session IPA and old favourites Banger Helles Lager, Bongo Tropic IPA and Bantam Table Beer. Celebrate Easter in style!

Meanwhile, Beak Brewery's These Hills 2025 line-up has been announced... and we'll be there! Taking place Sat 9th - Sun 10th August at the beautifully bucolic Glynde Place near Lewes (a wonderful 16th century manor house, nestled among the rolling South Downs). Featuring a host of interstellar breweries, it'll be bigger and better than ever...

Parkrun is every Saturday... If you haven’t heard about this great weekly event, here’s what it's all about: the 5k run takes place every Saturday at 9am at Malling Recreation Ground - you can walk, jog, run or spectate… whatever you feel up to. It’s free to join in, but you’ll need to register first on the parkrun website and bring a scannable copy of your barcode along. The event is organised entirely by volunteers, so if you’re interested in helping out, send them an email on mallingrec@parkrun.com ...and, JOG ON!

Meanwhile, the Lewes Beer Mile is always on, in tandem with our pals at Beak, ABYSS and Harvey's. Come on down to the BrewCafe, have a wander and enjoy a glass or two. Just grab a map (available at all the tap rooms, and the town tourist office at the top of Lewes high street), sink a bevvy and collect a stamp at each venue. When you’ve visited all four places, you'll get yourself a special LBM tote bag – great for carrying home some souvenir cans. We've also got loads of great food, wine and AFs waiting for you alongside all our top shelf brews.

Did you know there are four brilliant spaces to hire for community events and parties at the Malling Community Centre? Check them out… two great halls situated either side of the main Brewcafe area, and of course there’s the Brewcafe itself.
From sports clubs to book clubs, birthday parties to game nights, charity events to community celebrations, these amazing spaces are yours to use. Whatever your gig, there's loads of great things we can do together - with a full bar, great food options and a winning team.
Brewcafe aside, the Small Hall to the left of us offers a great space for slightly bigger gatherings. It holds up to 70 people when seated - and it's run and maintained by our partners at Lewes Town Council. (NB: this space can also be divided up into two equal parts for smaller get togethers - creating a third space to use.) Available for hire from as little as £8 per hour. You can also have access to everything the Brewcafe offers.
The Main Hall to the right of the Brewcafe is an amazing space for your big parties and events. It holds up to 120 people when seated (also run by our pals at the council). Available for hire from as little as £12 per hour. Like with the small hall, you can also have access to everything the Brewcafe offers - drinks, food, and more.
